Knowledge workers are workers whose main capital is knowledge. Examples include architects, engineers, scientists, and any other white-collar workers, whose line of work requires one to "think for a living". A wisdom worker is a (mostly) creative-minded individual, who works primarily in emotional creativeness. Their main skill is their ability to weave engaging narrative into their work.

2. Knowledge & Wisdom
• Knowledge is the accumulation of facts and data that you
have learned about or experienced. It’s being aware of
something and having information. Knowledge is really
about facts and ideas that we acquire through study, research,
investigation, observation, or experience.
• Wisdom is the ability to discern and judge which aspects of
that knowledge are true, right, lasting, and applicable to your
life. It’s the ability to apply that knowledge to the greater
scheme of life. It’s also deeper; knowing the meaning or
reason; about knowing why something is, and what it means
to your life.

Knowledge workers are workers whose main capital is knowledge. Examples
include software engineers, physicians, architects, engineers, scientists, design thinkers,
public accountants, lawyers, and academics, whose line of work requires the one to "think
for a living".
Knowledge workers spend 38% of their time searching for information.
Generally, if the knowledge can be retained, knowledge worker contributions will serve to
expand the knowledge assets of a company.
Even though they sometimes are called "gold collars", because of their high salaries, as
well as because of their relative independence in controlling the process of their own
work, current research shows that they are also more prone to burnout, and very
close normative control from organizations they work for, unlike regular workers.

• Wisdom resides in the minds of the wisdom worker.

linked to each other.

6. Wisdom Worker
• Wisdom is an infinitely renewable resource.
• It comes from inside.
• It is not dependent on age, education, or experience.
• It comes from the ability to listen deeply to one’s own heart and the values in our soul.
• It is the voice deep inside that is connected to our experience of inspiration, creativity,
and contribution; it can give us everything when we need to know it.
• We have all had moments when we spontaneously became present to this experience of
inner wisdom.
• To achieve peak performance we must cultivate this ability so that it becomes our
predominant way of being.
